Book Now, Ski Later: Why Summer is the Best Time to Reserve Your Trip

August 13, 2025

It might feel strange to think about deep powder turns when the sun is shining and the trails are dry. But for heli skiers, summer is the season to lock in winter’s most unforgettable days. Here’s why booking your trip with STHS now, before the snow starts falling, is the smartest move you can make.

The Best Dates Go Fast

Powder has a way of attracting a crowd, and our prime dates are often claimed months in advance. Late January through early March is the sweet spot for many skiers, offering deep mid-winter snow and consistent conditions. if you wait until fall to book, there’s a good chance your dream week will already be full.

Booking in summer = first pack of the calendar and the flexibility to align your heli days with your schedule, travel plans, and ski partners.
Bigger Groups, Better Coordination

If you’re organizing a trip for friends, family, or colleagues, you already know how hard it is to get everyone on the same page. Reserving early means your whole group can secure spots all together. Plus, you’ll have more time to coordinate travel and accommodations in Revelstoke.
Early Bird Benefits

We reward those who plan ahead. Booking early often means:
1. Access to early booking incentives (check out our Flexible Booking Policy for early season trips!)
2. The widest choice of trip lengths and package types
3. More time to train, get your gear dialed, and build the stoke
More Time to Prepare

Heli skiing is physically demanding. The earlier you commit, the more time you have to get into ski shape, break in new boots, or take an avalanche safety course. That way, when your trip rolls around, you’re ready to make the most of every run.
Peace of Mind

By booking in summer, you take the uncertainty out of the equation. Your trip is on the calendar, your spot is secure, and all that’s left is the countdown to winter. In a world where heli ski demand is higher than ever, that peace of mind is worth its weight in powder.

Bottom line? Don’t wait until the snow is falling to think about heli skiing. Summer is your chance to secure the best dates, the best group setup, and the best experience.
